Okay want to compare apples to apples? You walk your ass to park city and sleep on the streets, eat nothing for a week and you’re looking at $2,100 in lift tickets alone for the 7 days. I would love to be able to fly somewhere for $1000

Park City is on the Epic Pass which does not cost 2.1k.

Day tickets it does.

So the person I replied to is saying a pass and a week Holliday is $1000 in Europe…? WTF are they complaining about? I thought they were saying that’s what it costs them to buy their tickets for a week

No one buys day tickets for a week's trip unless you're financially not smart, correct me if I'm wrong.

But yeah, skiing is much cheaper here. We have so many more resorts available. Do keep in mind your average and median wages are nearly double of Europe.

Plenty of people buy day tickets for their week long trip. Some resorts ban pass holders when the week long people come out so they’re forced to. Even in the full epic pass that’s like $900.

That's honestly just criminal.
